My kids love smoothies, especially when it's hot outside. These are great for a snack. Add a bit of organic vanilla ice cream and you've also got a rich, delicious dessert.
Ingredients (you can easily find organic versions of all of these ingredients):
2 cups frozen fruit (strawberries, blueberries, peaches, whatever you enjoy)
5 ice cubes
1 cup vanilla lowfat yogurt
1 large banana
1 cup juice (cranberry, orange or apple are best)
Blend in a food processor until smooth. Enjoy!
Tip: you can enhance the nutritional/health content by "pureeing/hiding" any of the following in this: baby spinach, ground flaxseed (easiest if you're including something seedy like raspberries or strawberries), cooked sweet potato or powdered probiotics.
